SynopsisIf you want to discover the captivating history of the Crusades and Silk Road, then keep reading... Two captivating manuscripts in one book: The Crusades: A Captivating Guide to the Military Expeditions During the Middle Ages That Departed from Europe with the Goal to Free Jerusalem and Aid Christianity in the Holy Land The Silk Road: A Captivating Guide to the Ancient Network of Trade Routes Established during the Han Dynasty of China and How It Connected the East and West It could be said that European kings and nobles in the Middle Ages were Crusade mad. The enormous amount of fighting men who periodically sailed off to the Near East to do battle with Muslims are evidence of the widespread popularity of overseas adventurism at the time. The notion of a Crusade, in which large armies assembled from various regions of Europe for the purpose of doing battle with Turkish and Arab Muslims, became so fixed that it was expanded to include Crusades against heretical European Christian sects. Here are just some of the topics covered in part 1 of this book: The First Crusade (1095-1099) -The Pope Calls the Faithful to Arms The Armies of the First Crusade Engage with the Enemy The Aftermath of the First Crusade The Second Crusade (1147-1149) The Beginnings of the Kingdom of Jerusalem The Third Crusade (1189-1192) - The King's Crusade The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) - The Latin Empire of Constantinople and the Children's Crusade The Fifth Crusade (1217-1221) The Sixth Crusade (1228) - The Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II Takes the Cross The Seventh Crusade (1248-1254) The Eighth Crusade (1270) And much, much more!
